The thieves broke open the tool house of the Boston and Albany railroad and obtained the tools needed They then went over to the post office building, which stands at distance from postmaster Samuel Beckwith's resi- dence, and broke open the rear door. Entering the building they smashed the lock of door leading from the back rom to the post office. Having thus gained access to the store. they moved a small safe to a position behind the stove, where they would be partially screened from observation. In doing this they broke lamp that had hung suspended above the safe. This they replaced by one taken from a chandelier They smashed to fragments the door of the safe with sledge hammer and re-. moved thirty dollars in money, and few sheets of postage stamps, proba- bly, S6 or S7 dollars worth.
